hello and welcome to see. with the latest news on the week's top stories to children have been cold and over twelve people injured in the latest attack on gaza on sunday those are all steps up its military assault with increased the shelling from sea and air and bring so at least forty five the number of palestinians who have been killed in the severe bombardment launched by israel on wednesday three israelis have died at the hands of hamas rockets over the same period as. the sea in tel aviv this morning the development developing conflict good morning paula so israel makes a great player but surgical precision strikes yet its latest attacks don't appear to have hit military sites what more can you tell us but certainly the israeli army . point that all accounts are targeted killings but what we witnessed nearly out of sunday morning. it's the israeli air force one in

a media approving in gaza city and according to palestinian sources at least sixty journalists have been injured in this and they to strike we also know that they were overnight strikes in northern gaza we at least two children were killed and some fifteen people injured so what we're witnessing is this increase in the civilian count despite the fact as i say the israeli army saying that it does only carry out very specific targets the i.d.f. has also learned that its navy is now attacking from the sea plus you have these air strikes as well as drones now on saturday there was an emergency meeting of the arab league in cairo and during that meeting the arab league chief now bill i would be accused israel of carrying out war crimes he also said that all arab states in egypt we consider the peace treaties with israel we know that the arab league is going to be sending a delegation to gaza this morning sunday that will be headed by the arab league chief and have a number of foreign ministers in may will be trying to assess the humanitarian

situation on the ground and deal with what they say is an increasing crisis now egypt has been playing and mediate true what we have heard from the egyptian president mohammed morsi that he things a ceasefire will be reached soon and must as i say then start on and it's onions role if the jewish state in that's the blockade that it's had in place on gaza as well as stops these assassinations and these stipulations were made during a meeting between hamas delegates and egypt officials in cairo and also heard of another peace proposal put forward by turkey in which it says that two key egypt the united states and russia should be involved in brokering some obtain is peace plans but it needs to be said that it's not marry care that either side really is ready for a cease fire both say that they are ready but only if the other stops and we've really seen an attempt at seaside when the egyptian prime minister visited gaza recently and during his visit that so-called cease fire was broken both sides played. for breaking it suits it doesn't seem at this stage that any kind of c.s.i.

is on the plans there are reports israel's main massing is troops sometimes on the gaza border and have even been reports of shelling how far can we verify this information what we know that israel has been moving its tanks as well as armored personnel vehicles up and down the israeli gaza border for several days now we also know that there has been shelling from these times from israel into gaza city and this does raise the whole question of whether nothing is going to be an imminent ground operation we did see some seventy five thousand israeli reservists in the in the last few hours at the same time we also are hearing reports that israeli officials have been meeting with foreign diplomats and warning them that they will be extending the ground operation or they didn't actually say a ground operation they said they would extend their operation but the assumption by and large talking to israelis at least here in tel aviv and elsewhere in the country is that this ground operation is going to happen and so it's a fear that's being expressed by the palestinian side so i think what we will see

in the coming hours if not the coming hours so the coming days is a possible ground invasion so who are the signs you seem to point in that direction so we're bringing you live pictures from gaza right now on our sea and his policy in tel aviv for us point of many thanks indeed for that update. so despite a number of civilian deaths including those of children israel's foreign ministry has hailed their pursuit of these training operation and my corner grocery so shape talk to their spokesperson paul hey sean. this is been so far one of the most surgical pinpoint military operations in modern military history i think again you will see that the civilian to militant casualty ratio will show up in israel to have unfortunately killed civilians but fall fewer then than any other comparable military. action but you have

a pin point operation you call this one of the most precise and exact and pinpoint military operations that israel's known in recent history and that can allow for what you might consider collateral damage the killing of children when you when you presented and you talk about civilians it's always said as all the three israelis who were killed but of the palestinians who were killed seven are confirmed militants to choose a life don't you are you worried possibly you're just giving rise to anti israeli attitudes among palestinians let's have a listen to this quickly as the hamas leader that we spoke to just a bit earlier placed on by. the assassination of this great leader. clearly confirms that we are still in the heart of resistance with the israeli enemy the zionist enemy knows nothing but the language of killing and blood our battle with the enemy is an open bottle god willing this battle will end with palestine and jerusalem liberated you should wait for action not words. we've seen your actions a situation which most often anywhere in the world could accept what would you do

were just one missile to land in central moscow where we talk about our missiles and lets this car fire here we're talking about more rockets that are being attracted over some some i say that a mortar rocket from the palestinian militants compared to your. health fire inside why the missiles from your super high tech fighter jets and well that's quite a big difference between fireworks and bombs but the truth of the matter is that we have a situation where just today three israeli civilians were killed call the mortars call the missiles did civilians we have a situation where in the recent past something. the percent of these really children in southern israel with post-traumatic stress disorder israel was heavily criticized by a part of the world community i agree with you there i remind you and i point out that that was four years ago the lowest civilian to militant casualty rate in history twenty nine percent of those killed were civilians and i'm not belittling the death of any civilians but far lower than any other military campaign in the

last century i think that we will see something similar to start we're hoping to achieve number of things first and foremost to significantly degrade the commanding control operational abilities of commerce. and for a constant update on this iteration inside gaza where staying in contact with activists on filmmaker harry fear is currently working there and says innocent civilians who suffer from the israeli onslaught said to be aimed only at military targets israel boasts that it has capabilities so advanced that it can target with pinpoint what we're seeing is dead children and dead pregnant women israel has its mission it has its objective it's got the people that it wants to kill but the thing is it doesn't care about collateral damage it has the same policy if you like the united states with regard to collateral damage that it's happy to injure dozens of palestinian men women and children as long as it can kill one person who might

have helped fire a rocket into israel that is the psychology of ballasting in all around the gaza strip someone of all terrorized by this state terrorism this is a largely defenseless third world population most of the population under the age of eighteen most of the population are reliant on food aid and they're being bombed with drones and f. sixteen by. and by sea over these last few days. and you can keep an eye on what's happening in gaza on our website called a timeline featuring constant updates on the latest plus a live transmission from gaza city israeli aircraft have attacked a training camp in the south gaza time far rough i should say strikes also targeted structures belonging to hamas armed wing and gaza situated live pictures from that right now for you. and also it's called the haka group anonymous

launchers and enormous seven hundred israeli websites in retaliation to go on growing bombing of the strip. our website. they have mastered the treaty to ahmed jabari was assassinated at the start always rolls off and said it's being reported he was murdered and he talks on a long term truce with israel israeli peace activist. is among those demanding. we decided to try and push forward. counterpart wrote a new version of the draft he was presenting it to hamas leaders in fact on wednesday morning he was presenting it to me but he himself i was supposed to receive later that evening the copy of the draft in arabic for me to deliver to the israelis were waiting for it and the egyptian intelligence thought. that by having a truce with them would strengthen them there were people who believe that what we need to do is systematically weaken hamas so that they will fall out of power and

there is a belief that we need to create deterrence strong enough so that hamas will attack israel the attack of rockets to the civilian population in israel is intolerable by any country and they needed to take action i believe personally that we've tried everything we've assassinated leaders even assassinated military commanders we have put on an economic siege we have bomb them we did cast lead we've tried everything except a dialogue except an attempt to reach an understanding with mechanisms for verification and for compliance with the involvement of the egyptian military intelligence i think it had a chance to work but now will have to postpone it for some time. to develop and.

now as the battle rages on in gaza israel has been fighting on another front here shells fell in neighboring syria in response to gunfire that hit an army vehicle in the disputed girvan heights there has seen artillery fire for size in recent weeks and syria claims its shells cause no injuries. you know while syrian opposition forces looking to oust president assad are gaining more support on the west the french announced that they will be welcoming a national coalition envoy to their country france and the u.k. are both considering a push to lift speakeasy arms embargo said they could supply weapons to the rebels journalist neil clark says that western nations are using their lead their blueprint to gain a foothold in syria for the long term called for war against iran. if we do if we get together some opposition puppets if you like not their heads together call them the government of of libya and syria and they will work to end the arms embargoes and very soon we'll be hearing talk i expect no fly zones this is all

part of a plan to topple a sad but actually western powers actually glaring it's ok for us to are the rebels in syria but to anybody else around the syrians it's not allowed so it is absolutely appalling the of course if we have the constitutional vote back in a few subjects here and voted for it we had elections in may you know there is a every possibility of a trial of change in syria through the ballot box but the west don't want that because they know the president's job is to popular party probably majority support in syria the last thing they want is the people's will in syria to prevail they want to impose by force a puppet government and you know what would happen to libya mark two if a stylish topple we have chaos in syria more chaos we have more death and destruction but the west doesn't really care about that he doesn't care. happening in libya at the moment all it cares about is a new government in damascus which will probably try the entire economy the links with iran and hezbollah are. you know the move against iran to take place and this

is all about paving the way for war against iraq. and as western support for the syrian opposition continues to grow there have been shocking reports that rebels are murdering innocent civilians if they support bashar al assad free syrian army spokesman far made said his group kind of control the actions of those who joined their ranks. a few syrian army is not a regular army but the soldiers of the revolution some troops claim to be part of the f.s.a. but at the same time do not fall in order killings to police but as we are in a revolution we cannot control such a certainly there are some extremists some gangs and some who want to take advantage of the. army generals dramatic falls from grace and racist scandals all three are becoming an alarming trend that. could be why they betray us kazan just passion as one former intelligence officer tells r.t. . also i had a football match between rivals in the russian premier league is cut short in the

particular by the southern european citizenry the problem is what does that austerity mean is that neoliberal e.u. austerity where you cut basically all of those all of the social protection that keeps people from this sending. sort of downward spiral of social misery and with all of that escalating conflict or do you leave social protection in place and cut in places where there really is overspending such as in big bank bailouts and and and areas like these. the you used to be a place where people from around the world went to seek their fortune that at crisis change that pain is now looking elsewhere to find somewhere they can make ends meet. struggling to find that place. and those low charity house anyone in need is welcome here in the queue for food to additionally immigrants from so many that and this is new some europeans as well. who want to fund the three came here from spain eleven months ago after he lost his job and
